Pearson joined the fire department on Sept. 1, 1974, and after a 44-year career, hung up his helmet July 1. The most rewarding part of the job, Pearson said, “was helping people when they were in trouble.” Noted Dowell, “Tommy has come up all the way through the ranks and been instrumental in the training department. He made my job a whole lot easier when I became chief in 2007.”
